Microprocessor vs. Microcontroller


Microprocessor
CPU is stand-alone, RAM,
ROM, I/O, timer are separate
designer can decide on the
amount of ROM, RAM and
I/O ports.

Mask Programmed ROM (MROM) :


Programmed at the factory.

Programmable ROM (PROM) :

Can be custom-programmed by the user (once)


using special circuitry.

Erasable Programmable ROM (EPROM) :

Can also be programmed and erased by the user


using ultraviolet light and special circuitry external
to the computer.

Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) :

Can be erased and reprogrammed by special


circuitry within the computer.
